• 3 patients had cardiac iron load (T2* <20 ms) in childhood, including 2 below the age of 6 years.
• 7 patients required intensification of chelation with continuous intravenous desferrioxamine, which was successful in all but one despite of the use of 50 mg/kg/day.
17 patients had severe hepatic iron load (LIC >10 mg/g DW, maximum 38.6 mg/g DW):•4 before initiation of chelation treatment•8 following chelation with desferrioxamine•5 following deferasirox treatment
7 of the patients had severe hepatic iron load (maximum 29.17 mg/g DW) despite of maintaining the ferritin <1500 g/L with adequate chelation treatment following guidelines for thalassaemia.
Severe hepatic iron load was seen as early as in the second year of life (2 years 6 months LIC 38.6 mg/g DW).
